    There's some fucking guy,
    scientist or something.
    dDOJDIajijdioOAJDIJai
    Real sick bastard.
    You listening?
    wdfWJWIRQ
    Avidly.

    Says he measured
    out the remains,

    the cremated
    Fqjiqdoieupei[UEQ54
    remains of a dead man.

    Measured out the, uh, minerals


    5D4s6f+5D
    left behind, you know?

    The iron phosphates, the...


    Whatever it is we're made up of.

    Says he added it all up


    to the cost of $4.40.
    FOPQWFOpqwdqiwopi

    eqwiewqeqwe
    You believe that?

    Yeah, I guess so.

    $4.40.

    Burnt down man's worth less


    than a fucking Big Mac,

    all you can say


    is "I guess so"?

    Says give this poor bastard


    what he's got coming.

    Authentic?

    Yeah.

    Ten minutes.

    Start the count.

    All eyes are on the


    newcomer, Rainer...

    Can I get you something?

    Two shots. Scotch.

    Got money on the game?

    Nah, spread's terrible.

    Here. One
    for the road.

    No, thanks. Been


    sober for three years.

    Interesting career.

    You do something long enough.

    You close your eyes, you just can't


    think of doing something else.

    They found your accounts.

    Where'd you spend it?

    Look, man, I just wanted to start over.


    Quit the Agency.

    Have your drink.

    It could have been anybody


    walk through your door.

    Yeah. But
    it was you.

    Go clean up your mess.


    Three minutes.

    Start the count.

    No, please, God.

    Why did you do that?

    Why? Why did


    you do that?

    Why did you do that?

    What a shame.

    Have you lost


    your fucking mind?

    She's just a kid.


    Jesus Christ.

    The fuck, Emerson?

    No loose ends.
    How long have you been
    out in the field?

    It should say
    there, in the file.

    I want to hear what you say.

    A long time.

    I didn't know you smoked.

    When did you start?

    Right after I quit drinking.

    Why did you stop drinking?

    I was a drunk.

    What would you say is


    your current disposition?

    How do I feel?

    How do you feel about the girl?

    She asked a very good question.

    Which was?
    Why?

    Well, that's a question


    that needs to be asked.

    We are not sociopaths.

    We're vulnerable to qualms of


    conscience like anyone else.

    We face these decisions every


    day, and we vote up or down.

    Like everything else,

    it has all been distilled


    down to zeros and ones.

    They have asked for me to


    describe your emotional state
    in as detailed
    a manner as possible.

    To determine whether you are


    fit to remain in the field.

    I hate that it had


    to turn out this way.

    Me taking care of the girl,


    me taking care of the police.

    What you need, what


    we're willing to offer,

    is a change of pace.

    We have a station
    for you to look after.

    Blackleg Miner.

    One of the smaller terminals.

    England?
    Yeah.

    Far the fuck out,


    middle of nowhere.

    Old American Army base.


    Officially it doesn't exist.

    Unofficially, it's used to broadcast


    numbers to our European field agents.

    How long?

    Until your head is right.

    You'll be babysitting
    a broadcaster.

    Civilian, right?

    Yeah, cryptology specialist.

    And one of the very few people who


    can process code at this level.
    You and another team, alternating shifts.
    Three days each.

    You keep the station safe,


    you keep the code safe.

    Whatever it takes.

    Okay.

    Do the job, Emerson.

    I don't wanna look like an ass for


    sticking my neck out on this one.

    'Cause I've got nothing left, nothing


    to keep you from the wolves.

    0-7-3.

    4-5-5.

    8-1-7.

    6-9-0-1-0.

    Sorry. Little last-minute


    broadcast come through.

    I'll inform the authorities.

    You do that.

    Wanna hear my latest theory?

    Sure.

    We're coordinating troop


    movements in Afghanistan.

    Long-term
    tactical formations.

    Yeah.

    Illegal missions unsanctioned by the


    UN, that's why it's all hush-hush.

    Could be.
